Living the life

The home’s inviting look showcases a casual mix of texture, including rattan armchairs, and two plush cream sofas. Patterned cushions introduce the classic combination of blue and white, while farmed Queensland coral and fishing pots, used as pendant lights, add interest.

Kitchen calm

The kitchen features a slick benchtop and splashback in Caesarstone 'Ice Snow'. Miele appliances and a Smeg rangehood give this kitchen a professional feel.
